There were goals at either end of the pitch constructed by sticking two willow rods in the ground some feet apart, bending them towards each other and tying the ends together so that a semicircle was formed".

An early work by the Irish poet and lawyer Concanen (1701-49), who was appointed attorney-general of Jamaica in 1732, a post he held for over sixteen years. - Some light staining and browning.
